Exactly, and tbh I think it's incredibly harmful to push the narrative that all people can change and all people can be redeemed because that's how people end up staying with abusers - because they think "Well, he said he's going to change, so surely he means it this time!" when in truth the person in question has zero intention of ever changing their ways because they simply don't care. My friend's grandfather was one of those people: he was abusive (physically and emotionally) to his wife, he was abusive to his daughter (my friend's mother), and he was abusive to my friend for his entire life until the very day he died. He was a horrid person who was absolutely and utterly irredeemable and in fact the entire family celebrated when he finally kicked it.

For some people there's just no hope, and it's better to recognize that fact than it is to push the idea that well maybe THIS time they'll change, because they won't, and people shouldn't waste any time or effort on it.
